WE reproduce in another column the statement of Kansas gentleman show ing how the magical growth of one of the aourishiDg cities in that state was accom- plished. His words are full of wisdom, snd are worthy of the careful considera- tion of the people of Florence. We must make concerted action to secure share of the large tide of immigration that is seeking homes on the Pacific Coast, and in order to do this we must furnish the eastern people with full and reliable in formation about our resources and advan- tages. Our precious heritage will be dormant for all time unless we tell others of its value and invite them to come and share it's benefits. Not one eastern person in a thousand knows anything whatever of Arizona, other than its mo- torious reputation as the scene of Apache depredations and general lawlessness, knows that such town as Florence has -esiAtance- Less than a hundred peo- pie now residing east of the Rocky noun tains possesses the slightest idea of the
 real condition of affairs here and it is all owing to the apathy of our own citizens in not following in the footsteps of the Kansas town above quoted. We must have local organization firmly held to- gethsr by the cohesive power of mutual advantage, managed with the broad view that public good is individual benefit
 This organization must supply to the people of the east and those coming west by the several lines of rail transpor- tation, full and reliable information rela- tive to this section; it's soil, water supply, climate, crops, etc., together with specif- ic information of opportunities for set tiers, for business men and for health seekers. We have more and better re- sources to tempt the immigrant than Cal ifornia can exhibit, and speculation has not yet blinded the reason of our people, We can traffic in the merits of our re- sources and give tangible evidence of their value, but the eastern people who want what we offer to sell them are totally ig- norant of these facts. We can make Florence city of many thousands of in- habitants within the next year or two if we go to work harmoniously and in the right spirit, and the sooner we begin our part of our plain duty the quicker will the day of prosperity reach us. Let us organize and make ourselves known to the world, and not wait until we are discovered by some contemplating men who will read with evident curiosity the inscriptions upon our moss-covered tombstones and wonder what sort of humanity hiberna- ted in land of wealth and plenty for so long time and always scratched poor mans back.

 IF railroad companies were held pecu- niarily responsible for every death oe- easioned by collisions and accidents ou their roads. travel by rail would be as safe as by the original method by which our Savior journeyed through the holy land. The horrors of each new disaster come altogether too closely upon the heels of it's predecessor, and the shock ing details are painful to discuss. If the companies were held responsible for every disaster by broken bridge or care- less employees, it would compel a better class of workmanship and materials on the former, and more careful and trust worthy servants for the latter In rail. road building the company usually lets its contracts to a combination of it's own. CTS under the name of a co{11tr action company, aud in turn this 0rsanikatior sublets contracts at rate tco low to in. sure good work. Too often the slighte6 structure is only discovered when 6 train load of unsuspecting passen
 gers are hurled down to death anc then the responsibility is fixed upon nc one; it is but dispensation of an al wise Providence. Life is too sacred fol a sacrifice to the greed of avaricious men and every safeguard that the law car provide should be exercised to force proper respect for life by those in who's care it is placed while journeying b. rail.

The DAILY ARGUS.
JOHN W. POTTER.
WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 20. 1887.

Tue first half-year of prohibition in
Rhode Island ended with December, and
the Providence Journal has compiled an
interesting and valuable summary of the
results. When the new system went in
to operation there were 444 places in the
city licensed for the sale of intoxicating
liquors, which paid an annual revenue of
Sl31,618 For several days after the LIST
OF July it was very difficult to buy liquor
at any of these places, and number OF
the dealers went out of the business, but
as time went on, the traffic began TO re-
vive, until now. the Journal says, 'intox
icating beverages can be procured in any
quantity, aud in any locality, without
much trouble or secrecy" The number
of places where liquor was formerly sold
and is now to be obtained. Is 2SS. to
which must be added enough so>called
''club rooms" operated by former
saloon keepers for the benefit Of
their customers, to make the to-
tai number 404, under prohibition
or within 40 of the number under license.
The arrests for Drunkenness and crimeslike
assaults, which are largely attributable
to intoxication, fell off very largely dur
ing the first weeks after the change My

1886. against 404 and 25 respectively in
July, 1885; but during the last three OF
four months the difference has steadily
diminished, until in December last ar
rests for drunkenness reached 23S against
$50 in December, 1885. while there was
an increase in arrests for assaults from
II in December 1888 to % in December.
1895. The conclusion of the whole mat
ter appears to be that, at the rate things
are now drifting, there will soon be no
material difference in Providence be
tween the workings of license and pro-
hibition. except ia the fact that the com
munity now derives no revenue from the
traffic in drink, and the even mole i'm
portant fact that respect for all laws Is
diminished by the contempt for the law
which is most talked about.
